Is mine bigger than yours?

I had never thought that daffodils grew higher than the usual 12 inches or so, so I was amazed to find this fellow a few days ago. I measured it with my yard-stick and it was exactly 36 inches tall. Clearly it had been reaching for the light but is this unusual? I thought it best to post this before April 1st! :>)

Thanks, all for your comments. Stickitoffee, Thomas was a doubter, too! :>)
I have no idea how this one strayed under the shrub but just for fun I shall plant a few more under it and see what comes up next year.
